Industry professionals are frequently complaining about the shortage of talented individuals despite scores of college students graduating each year. Although unemployment remains lower for a few years, yet the underemployment rate is growing – despite the impressive rate of annual job creation. Moreover, underemployment is the most significant problem in software industry. Companies are unable to find the appropriate talent despite having a large pool of graduates. After years of studies and experimentation, most researchers are of the view that promoting talent on-demand is the most appropriate approach to fill the voids.

Spain’s largest railway station, Madrid Atocha, has a surprise nestled at its heart: a 43,055 square foot (4,000sqm) botanical garden. Built in 1851, the station was remodelled in the 1980s to make way for high-speed trains. The old railway terminal was replaced with a sleek shopping area, centred around an indoor jungle. Over 100 species of plants from the Americas, Asia and Australia make up this lush interior; some of the palms nearly touch the 88 feet (27m) high ceiling.
Madrid Atocha (Spanish: Estación de Madrid Atocha), also named Madrid Puerta de Atocha–Almudena Grandes, is the oldest major railway station in Madrid. It is the largest station serving commuter trains (Cercanías), regional trains from the south and southeast, intercity trains from Navarre, Cádiz and Huelva (Andalusia) and La Rioja, and the AVE high speed trains from Girona, Tarragona and Barcelona (Catalonia), Huesca and Zaragoza (Aragon), Sevilla, Córdoba, Málaga and Granada (Andalusia), Valencia, Castellón and Alicante (Levante Region). These train services are run by Spain's national rail company, Renfe. As of 2019, the station has daily service to Marseille, France.
Overview
The station is in the Atocha neighbourhood of the district of Arganzuela. The original façade faces Plaza del Emperador Carlos V, a site at which a variety of streets converge, including the Calle de Atocha, Paseo del Prado, Paseo de la Infanta Isabel, Avenida de la Ciudad de Barcelona, Calle de Méndez Álvaro, Paseo de las Delicias, Paseo de Santa María de la Cabeza, and Ronda de Atocha.
Atocha station is a railway complex, formed by the Madrid Atocha Cercanías and Madrid Puerta de Atocha stations of Spain's national railways and a station of the Madrid underground called Atocha-RENFE. RENFE is the state-owned company which operates freight and passenger trains since 1941.
History:
At this site, Madrid's first railway station was inaugurated on 9 February 1851 under the name Estación de Mediodía (Atocha-Mediodía is now the name of an area of the Arganzuela district, and means south in old Spanish).
After the building was largely destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt by the MZA railway company and reopened in 1892. The architect for the replacement, in a wrought iron renewal style was Alberto de Palacio Elissagne, who collaborated with Gustave Eiffel. Engineer Henry Saint James also took part in the project. The name Atocha has become attached to the station because of the nearby basilica dedicated to Our Lady of Atocha. The train platforms were partly covered by a roof in the form of inverted hull with a height of approximately 27 meters and length of 157 meters. The steel and glass roof spreads between two brick flanking buildings.
This complex of railway tracks expanded through the years. In 1985, a project of complete remodelling began, based on designs by Rafael Moneo. In 1992, the original building was taken out of service as a terminal, and converted into a concourse with shops, cafés, and a nightclub. Like the Orsay Museum in Paris, the concourse has been given a new function, that being in the case of Atocha a stunning 4,000 m2 (43,056 sq ft) covered tropical garden.
A modern terminal was also designed by Moneo, and built in adjacent land to serve both the new High Speed trains, regional and local commuter lines. The main lines end in the new terminal; regional and commuter train platforms are located underground, at the ingress to a rail tunnel extending northward under the Paseo de la Castellana. The station is served by two Madrid Metro stations, Estación del Arte (located near the Museo Reina Sofía) and the Atocha Renfe metro station. The latter was added when the new terminal building was constructed and is directly linked to the railway station, providing access to Line 1. A connection to Line 11 will be constructed in the first half of the 2020s, with work scheduled to begin in November 2022 for completion by the end of 2026.
2004 Madrid train bombings:
On 11 March 2004, packed arriving commuter trains were bombed in a series of coordinated attacks, killing 193 people and wounding 1,800. The official investigation by the Spanish Judiciary determined the attacks were directed by a Islamist terrorist cell.
Memorials to the 2004 attack:
On 10 June 2004, a somber and minimalist Atocha station memorial was dedicated to the victims of the attacks. The monument includes a virtual shrine. Visitors to the attacked stations can leave a hand silhouette and a message through special-purpose consoles. A second monument to this event, known as 11-M in Spain, is the Bosque del Recuerdo (Forest of Remembrance) in the Parque del Buen Retiro near Atocha. This monument is made up of 192 olive and cypress trees, one for each person who died on that day, with a tree also planted in remembrance of the police officer, who died on 3 April 2004. He died as a result of a suicide bomb during the attempt to capture a number of the perpetrators, four of whom were killed by the bomb. Initially inaugurated as the Bosque de los Ausentes (Forest of the Departed) the site was renamed on the first anniversary of the devastating attack. The forest is surrounded by a stream, with water as a symbol of life.

Buses replace trains for the 20 miles of route between Three Bridges and Brighton. This is for engineering works but are they really working on the entire 20 mile stretch of track and if not, what aren't the trains running apart from where they are actually working?
Heating/hot water system. The white box is a heat exchanger that burns natural gas and heats water on demand. The plumbing to the right supplies the home hot water and three heating zones. We replaced the white box and all the copper plumbing directly below it. Five days with no heat/hot water. We kept things going with space heaters and showers at the University Bluffs apartments.
Workers replace switches first installed in 1989 at Burnside Av on the 4 line in the Bronx.

"When gloomy gray Decembers are roused to Christmas mirth,
The dullest life remembers there once was joy on earth,
And draws from youth’s recesses
Some memory it possesses,
And, gazing through the lens of time, exaggerates its worth,
When gloomy gray December is roused to Christmas mirth.
When hanging up the holly or mistletoe, I wis
Each heart recalls some folly that lit the world with bliss.
Not all the seers and sages
With wisdom of the ages
Can give the mind such pleasure as memories of that kiss
When hanging up the holly or mistletoe, I wis.
For life was made for loving, and love alone repays,
As passing years are proving for all of Time’s sad ways.
There lies a sting in pleasure,
And fame gives shallow measure,
And wealth is but a phantom that mocks the restless days,
For life was made for loving, and only loving pays.
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox, 1850-1919 ~

Workers brought in a fifteen ton machine with a lift arm to remove the 120 year old slate roof on our "turret" tower. This will complete the replacement of all of the slate roofing on the building over the past 10~15 years.

CXC is based in Barbados.
CXC was established in 1972.
Legal Instruments:
- CXC is an Associate Institution of the Caribbean Community recognised under Article 22 of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas (RTC).
- Consolidated Text of the Agreement Establishing the Caribbean Examination Council and the Supplemental Agreement in Relation to the Caribbean Examination Council.
The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) is an examination board in the Caribbean.[1] It was established in 1972 under agreement by the participating governments in the Caribbean Community to conduct such examinations as it may think appropriate and award certificates and diplomas on the results of any such examinations so conducted.
